Alongside former Rockies star Larry Walker and Cardinals catcher Ted Simmons, Jeter will be inducted on Tuesday, putting a capstone on one of the greatest careers in modern baseball history.
Jeter hopes that his legacy as the captain of the Yankees and one of the greatest players in franchise history remains intact for years to come.
Jeter’s statistical accomplishments, which include being ranked sixth all-time in hits and having amassed 14 All-Star games, are enough to put him at or near the top of most relevant baseball lists.
Considering that Jeter played his entire 25-year career as a professional with this organization, his accomplishments will be forever interwoven with the DNA of the modern Yankees.
